Loki’s unusual coloring was the result of a breeding program that began in the 1950s in Russia called the Farm-Fox Domestication Experiment. He was kept as an illegal pet and then surrendered to Earthfire Institute. Loki was submissive and loving due to genetic tinkering and would never be able to survive in the wild. His immediate friendliness to visitors made him a quick favorite (although we remind people that they are not allowed to have favorites). He delighted in soft petting and playing with plush stuffed animals.
